Help Tucson Artists Paint Murals On Fourth Avenue This Weekend

Help the #Tucson Historic Fourth Avenue Coalition paint the town this weekend!

Around 20 artists will paint murals to hang on the chain link fence surrounding a construction site at Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street — the former location of the bar The Flycatcher.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, artists will be painting the murals on cloth canvases that will hang from the fences (like what you see currently). Three canvases will be reserved for community participation. The plan is for the murals to stay up as long as possible.
